“You can tell when you’re walking down the street if someone is in whatever designer. “Anna amped up her fashion game because she was playing with the big boys or the big girls,” the costume designer said. With socialite Nora - played by Kate Norton - Sorokin wears Chanel jackets and logo-bearing designer handbags to fit in with her highbrow friends. When Sorokin attends New York Fashion Week with stylist Val - played by James Cusati-Moyer - the character resembles a “Hitchcock blonde” with her elegant, chic style. When telling the story from the perspective of lifestyle mogul Talia Mallay - played by Marika Dominczyk - who vacations in the Hamptons and Ibiza, Sorokin is seen wearing an array of colorful caftans and high-end resortwear. With Sorokin’s changing persona came a different style. For me, it was an interesting jigsaw puzzle.”
We were true to her as much as we could be. It was an interesting project in that you have several different levels of storytelling with all the different Annas, but then you have the real Anna, too. “It was telling the story that Anna kept reinventing herself. “It wasn’t just about putting pretty clothes on a pretty human,” Paolo said. Some characters are fictional, while others were real people impacted by Sorokin’s crimes. As each character had a different narrative for the con artist, her fashion also reflected her changing nature. Many of the “Inventing Anna” episodes center on a specific character who was friends with or impacted by Sorokin.

“It was sort of a dichotomy because we were matching quite seriously that you normally wouldn’t do I think on a current TV show.” “We literally spent months researching everything, finding the brand and reaching out to the brand or on The RealReal or a vintage store,” she explained. Many pieces were the actual designer garments, while others were recreated in the show’s costume studio. Paolo estimated that roughly 97 percent of Garner’s costumes in the show are what Sorokin actually wore in real life. Chanel, Dior, Celine, Alexander McQueen, Valentino, Gucci and Balenciaga are just some of the design houses prominently featured in the show. The costume designer explained that there virtually wasn’t a high-end designer label that wasn’t included in the show’s nine episodes. While these ladies are already known to many, they're a group I would hail as "the new school" of Swans.A still from “Inventing Anna” DAVID GIESBRECHT/ NETFLIX When asked to name my top five socialites, I thought it would be fun to include some modern day ladies whom I know and who have established themselves as leaders in philanthropic and entrepreneurial fields.
Of course, this list would not be complete without mentioning CZ Guest, Gloria Guiness, Nancy Kissinger (a close friend of my mother’s “other mother” Helen Winslow of New York and Newport) the lively Nan Kempner, Annette Reed De La Renta (who is beloved because she used all her clout to come to the aid of her dear friend Brooke Astor) Diane Von Furstenberg (who, as I grew up, dressed my mother and her friends in Richmond, Virginia in fabulous wrap dresses) and the elegant Carolina Herrera. We've all heard of the famous Swans of yesteryear: the amazing Babe Paley, aunt to my ex-husband, and her daughter Amanda Burden Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, and her sister Lee Radziwill, (her daughter-in-law Carole Radziwill, another cast member of the R eal Housewives of New York City, is a new friend of mine.) They don't just support charities with money-they volunteer their time, hearts, love, and attention on numerous boards and important projects to support the interests and their preferred charities. While photographers do find them to be great subjects, the public generally fails to recognize the many good deeds these Swans do. When people think of socialites, they generally think of ladies of style whose purpose is to get their pictures taken a lot girls who love social activities and being on the society “circuit.” Every few years there is a new crop of these energetic beauties whose activities enthrall us. First of all, let's dispel the myth that “socialite” might be a pejorative term.
